How to Enable Trust Access to the VBA Project Using Registry for Excel Compliance

When working with macros in Excel, you may encounter a scenario where your code fails to run due to restrictions in accessing the VBA project. In particular, an error may occur when Excel does not recognize changes made to Developer Macro Settings, causing interference in executing code that modifies VBProject components. In this post, we will guide you through how to address this issue by enabling Trust Access to the VBA Project using the Registry.

Understanding the Problem

As a developer, you may face an issue where VBA code blocks Excel from accessing its own project. This is particularly true when executing certain scripts meant to import references or copy modules between workbooks. The error can often surface as an Application Defined Error, hindering your progress.

Common Causes of the Issue

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Security Settings: By default, Excel has stringent security protocols that prevent unauthorized access or modifications to its VBA project.

Registry Settings Not Recognized: Even if you adjust the settings via the Registry, Excel may not always comprehend these changes unless interacted with manually.

Solution: Enabling Trust Access to the VBA Project

To enable access to the VBA Project and ensure your macros function correctly, you'll need to adjust specific registry settings as described below:

Step 1: Access the Registry Editor

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.

Type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor. Caution: Be careful when editing the registry, as incorrect changes can affect system stability.

Step 2: Navigate to the VBA Settings

In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:

Replace <version> with the appropriate version number of your Office installation (for example, 16.0 for Office 2016).

Step 3: Modify Trust Access Settings

Look for a key named AccessVBOM (Access to Visual Basic for Applications project).

If it does not exist, you will need to create it. Right-click on the Security folder, select New, then DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it AccessVBOM and set its value to 1 (which represents True).

Close the Registry Editor.

Step 4: Verify the Changes in Excel

Even after adjusting the registry, you need to verify that Excel recognizes these changes:

Open Excel and go to File ➔ Options ➔ Trust Center ➔ Trust Center Settings ➔ Macro Settings.

Ensure that Trust access to the VBA project object model is checked.

Click OK to apply and save changes.

Step 5: Reload Your Workbook

Re-open your macro-enabled workbook and run your code again to see if the previous errors have been resolved. The adjustments you've made should now permit Excel to trust your VBA projects and eliminate the previous conflicts.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can effectively enable Trust Access to the VBA Project using Registry modifications. This action not only resolves the Application Defined Error but also ensures that your Excel macros run smoothly without interruptions. Always remember that certain settings necessitate user confirmation and interaction, so it's a good practice to check these regularly to avoid obstacles in your development workflow.

Additional Tips

Regularly back up your registry before making changes.

If issues persist, consider revisiting the macro security settings within Excel.

Ensure that your Excel installation is up-to-date to avoid bugs.

With this guide, you'll be empowered to tackle VBA project access issues in Excel, streamlining your development process and enhancing productivity.
